Hotel Făgăraș explores the limitations and possibilities of an existing building built in 1953-1954. Appeared as a result of the need for housing units for the technical staff of the Nitramonia complex in Făgăraș, the building is part of a small ensemble made according to typical projects specific to the period, significant for its unitary quality.








The conversion from residence to hotel involved subtle overall alterations, predominantly consisting of the release of the existing framework and its transformation from loft to attic, thus making the space suitable for temporary living. 

The added dormers in the attic replicate the gaps in the lower registers, remaining within the parameters of typical Stalinist academicism.






The access to the hotel below the level of the natural terrain creates the opportunity of a distance from the street and the living area, subtly separating the two worlds, that of the neighborhood and permanent housing, from that of the hotel and temporary housing.

The project aims to render the city building in its most convenient form, leaving the context unchanged through its transformation.

Cumulus wins 3rd prize @ ”Colentina Lakes” Competition

The competition aimed to develop the landscaping of the Colentina lakeshores over the entire length comprised in the 2nd District. By analyzing the geographical context we discover that Bucharest is not a flat city. Actually, the flat does not exist, there is always a slope of a few centimeters, of a few meters or sometimes of even 10 meters. Therefore, our proposal follows to rediscover the subtle slopes.
